As their words fell, the entire Formation suddenly burst into a blinding white light, and when it shone upon the elder...

His face gradually contorted, and he let out a loud scream, "Aaahhhhh!!!"

This intense pain originated from every part of his body, instantly pushing his nerves to the verge of collapse!

Xu Sheng lifted her gaze, observing the scene before her, and narrowed her eyes, "Is this... a Formation? Moreover, one that backlashes against its user!"

While the elder bore the tremendous pain, this pain was also divided into three parts, each borne by the Disciples conducting the Formation...

Even though it was only a third of the sensation, it twisted their faces to the extreme, yet they did not stop the Formation's progress...

The female Disciple with beautiful eyes looked at the elder in the center, gritting her teeth, "Increase... increase the input of Spiritual Power!!"

Just this level of pain was not enough to make this guy's spirit collapse, so the pain he had to endure must be increased!!

The other two Disciples took a deep breath and nodded, "Alright!!"

Having come this far, if they were to stop now, the life force they lost in order to cast the Formation could not be retrieved!!

The next moment, a terrifying amount of Spiritual Power burst forth from the three of them once more, the intense pain causing every vein in their bodies to bulge as if they were about to explode at any moment...

Unable to bear the pain any longer, they all began to wail...

"Aaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!"

"Aaaahhh!! Hold on!! Everyone must... hold on aaaaaahhhhhhhh!"

"We must... we must make... aaaaahhh! Him pay the price!!"

As for the elder in the middle, the pain he suffered increased geometrically! His facial expressions were almost distorted beyond recognition, it was hard to tell it was a human face!!

He couldn't even let out a scream of agony...

This severe pain lasted for several moments...

At this time, the elder's gaze began to scatter...

And his spirit had already collapsed under this severe torment...

He was now merely a soulless puppet, a husk of a body!

And the three Disciples who released the Formation could no longer withstand the Formation's pain and were forced to interrupt it, collapsing to their knees...

Blood spilled from the corners of their mouths, and the life within them began to fade away gradually...

And as if they knew this, they used the last of their Spiritual Power to direct their Personal Swords straight at the elder ahead...

The sharp blades of the swords pierced through his skull, heart, and abdomen respectively!

With a "thud", the elder, whose gaze was wide-open and body full of swords, collapsed powerlessly to the ground...

Seeing this, a hint of relief flashed through the eyes of the three Sect Disciples...

They had killed this man...

Then...

They could... rest at last!

The next moment, they all fell to the ground, their life force completely dissipated...

Witnessing this scene, Xu Sheng's steps wavered as she moved toward the elder's side...

Before she could speak, a wave of severe dizziness struck her, and she immediately fell...

...

The unconscious Xu Sheng suddenly coughed a few times, "Cough cough..."

Then, slowly, she opened her ink-colored eyes, subconsciously scanning the extremely unfamiliar surroundings...

Her face bore a trace of confusion, "Where is this?"

Just then, a solemn voice resounded...

"You're awake?"

Xu Sheng, upon hearing the voice, cautiously looked towards the direction from which it came and saw a middle-aged man dressed in the sect's attire, looking very authoritative...

He then frowned and asked, "Who are you?"

The middle-aged man tried to soften his tone as much as possible and explained, "Don't worry, this place is safe. As for my identity, I am the Sect Master of the Tianlong Sect, Luo Yun!"

Xu Sheng pondered, "Tianlong Sect?"

Could this be related to the sect those disciples who perished with the old man belonged to?

What exactly is happening?!

Sect Master Luo nodded slightly and said, "That's right, I thank you for assisting our Sect Disciples in slaying a Demon Cultivator at the Ninth Layer of the Profound Immortal Realm!"

Although his cultivation level was only at the Ninth Level of the True Immortal Realm, it was already commendable that he chose to help the disciples of our Tianlong Sect!

If it were someone else, they would have probably fled long ago...

Xu Sheng's pupils suddenly constricted as he thought to himself, "Assist in slaying?"

Could it be...

He suddenly realized that right before he passed out, he seemed to have approached the old man—perhaps Sect Master Luo thought he helped those disciples slay the latter...

However, the reality was indeed as melodramatic as he imagined...

But perhaps that was for the best, otherwise he might have already been executed by the disciples of the Tianlong Sect!

Sect Master Luo, unhurriedly stroking his beard, calmly said, "The injuries you suffered are quite severe. You should rest and recover in our Tianlong Sect for some time."

Then his tone changed as he asked, "Additionally, what is your name?"

Xu Sheng replied softly, "Sect Master Luo, my name is Xu Sheng!"

Sect Master Luo seemed thoughtful as he said, "Xu Sheng, is it? Very well, then rest here. I will take my leave now..."

With those words, he turned and left the room...

Seeing this, Xu Sheng finally let out a sigh of relief in his heart...

Before he could ponder for long, the sound of knocking came again, "tap, tap, tap."

Then, an extremely pleasant voice followed, "Excuse me... are you awake?"

Upon hearing the ethereal voice from outside the door, Xu Sheng quietly said, "Please come in!"

As his words fell, a female disciple entered the room, wearing a light blue robe and holding quite an attractive figure.

Her gaze settled on Xu Sheng's handsome face and her ears blushed slightly, and then she shyly bowed her head...

In a soft, weak voice, she said, "I... Sect Master... The Sect Master asked me to take care of you for the next few days..."

Xu Sheng was momentarily stunned, then gently said, "Is that so? Then I will trouble you for the coming days..."

Feeling his completely amiable aura, the female disciple finally relaxed a bit in her heart...

She quietly asked, "So, shall I help you change your clothes now?"

At this moment, Xu Sheng realized that his wounds had only been bandaged, and there were no hideous wounds, which clearly had been deliberately treated...

Without making any fuss, he simply gave a hum of agreement...

After suffering a strike from that Profound Immortal Realm disciple, moving about indeed was not so simple for him...

Subsequently, the female disciple carefully and gently helped Xu Sheng dress in the attire of a Tianlong Sect Disciple...

This was to avoid unnecessary disputes!

Xu Sheng stretched his body a bit and then said with a light chuckle, "Thank you. Could you perhaps tell me about the Tianlong Sect?"

The female disciple paused, then began to explain, "Alright... certainly, our Tianlong Sect is..."
